Great option for bringing non vegans, tortillas are amazing and all 3 vegan options were delicious! Prices are very affordable! Tostada was great and we loved broccoli and mushroom tacos!

i always appreciate when vegan options aren’t an afterthought, they’re carefully curated and created.

I cannot emphasize how good the food here is enough. It’s cooked with so much love by the most talented folks using the most beautiful ingredients. Every time I come here I know I’m in for a really special meal. Thank you to the chefs!!!!!

The cashier was extremely rude and openly irritated when I asked a simple question, acting as if customers were an inconvenience. The tacos were good, but the burrito was very bland and disappointing. With service like this and uneven food quality, I honestly don’t understand the hype around this place.

If I could rate this place as zero I would have done it already. Definitely a “not” on your bracket list. During my visit at the United States I visited this place and I instantly regretted it. The cashier was so rude and impolite and unwelcoming.

Best tacos, rudest cashier (consistent with some of the other reviews). This is based on eating there 11 times in 2025. Came back in 2026 and still the same rude behavior. Shout out to the woman that hands me my take out order with a big smile every single time.

I’ve visited this restaurant three times. During my first visit, the cashier’s attitude was noticeably rude and unwelcoming, which negatively affected what could have been an otherwise great experience. While the food was excellent, the interaction made it difficult to fully enjoy the visit.
My second and third visits were more neutral, but the service still felt underwhelming. This place has the potential to be one of my favorite spots—the quality of the food is genuinely outstanding. However, consistent and welcoming customer service is just as important in creating a great dining experience.
As someone who works in customer service, I understand how much atmosphere and attitude matter, especially for a restaurant that has received Michelin recognition. The product is there, but the service needs improvement. I truly hope this is something that can be addressed for future guests.

Haven't had a chance to try the food there because of the rude lady who was taking my order. She gave me an attitude just for asking how spicy taco is! It was an unpleasant experience and I left to eat at another restaurant! I wish this place have different customer approach! I am sure the food is amazing here but be friendly is important as well!

Being a vegetarian, I tried their tacos de papa, vegetarian burrito got badly disappointed. Veggie tacos were reasonably good. Not lot of options for vegetarian:(
An absolutely soothing hip taco place that I went with a friend while in Oakland. There is plenty of outdoor seating and an overall serene moody ambience to the place, sophisticated but Bohemian and stylish. The tacos are delightful and the prices are reasonable, and they come with a satisfying mix of flavors. There is a casual rustic chicness here that strikes me (native Coloradoan currently living in Seattle) as being very distinctly California. This is one of my friend's favorite places to eat in Oakland, and I can definitely see why. The strings of exposed lights add a fitting rustic-cool touch.

One of those spots that truly lives up to its reputation and star rating. Excellent brunch tacos as well (we preferred the tacos over the burrito). Definitely grab some of the habanero sauce too.

The dishes were flavourful, but could be unbalanced. For example, in the Charred Broccoli Taco, the taste of the peanuts dominated all other ingredients. The Fermented Habanero Hot Sauce was disappointing. It was just raw spiciness with none of the usual smokey and fruity complexity of habanero.
